Aim: How do we organize data using frequency tables, stem-and-leaf plots, and histograms?

At the end of the lesson, you will be able to...
1. organize data in a frequency table
2. draw a histogram by hand for a given set of data
3. use the graphing claculator to draw a histogram for a given set of data
4. organize data in a stem-and-leaf plot
5. compare and contrast the advantages of organizing data in frequency tables, stem-and-leaf plots, and hostograms
6. define mean, median, and mode
7. find the missing value in a data table given the mean, median, and mode.
